20 and 8

Got my last 20 miler in bright and early yesterday morning. The first four miles, my legs felt like concrete pillars (might have had something to do with the Mexican food and margaritas Friday night), but I just kept telling myself, "Fake it til you make it." It worked! By mile 5, I was in the groove. The rest of the run was really strong, and my pace per mile was 1 minute faster than my last 20 miler. Now it's taper time!

And now for the 8 . . . I was tagged by MCM Mama and I'm trying to procrastinate from mopping my kitchen floor, so it seems like a good time to do this.
